Digital BW, The Print

Harvey:
I got a good laugh when I read his disortatioon on why he finds digital to
be fake. He quite well forgets that he is not the only one who ever made
Cibachrome Prints.

You can do just as much manipulation with masks and color filtration in
conventional printing as you can in digital. It just takes you a lot longer
using conventional methods.
